Chapter 295(1/2)
After putting on makeup, Chen Nian looked at An Hongdou's makeup very satisfied.
"Come on, come on, take a photo for me." An Hongdou couldn't help but feel moved when she looked at herself in the mirror.
She used to think that people who say this were either narcissistic, or they set up personalities and show off, but today she finally realized this feeling. It turned out that she was really moved to see herself.
She herself likes traditional Chinese culture very much, but when she chose her major, her parents also made some suggestions, after all, it is not easy to find a job in learning opera in the future.
Of course, it is not the attitude that you have to listen to us. An Hongdou thought it made sense after listening to it, so she learned vocal music in college.
Now she is very grateful for her original choice. If she had studied opera herself now, of course she would not have been so free.
Although Chen Nian had no experience in taking photos, at least this job was still possible. She took five or six photos, and Chen Nian looked at it and felt very satisfied. After handing it to An Hongdou, An Hongdou frowned and finished reading it.
"What's wrong?" Chen Nian looked at the other person's expression and felt that An Hongdou seemed not very satisfied.
"Nothing. I originally thought you knew everything, but now it seems that there are things that I don't know very well. I'll go back and repair these photos for a little."
An Hongdou and Chennian have known each other for a long time, so they naturally know what Chennian's personality is, so she knows that she will not make Chennian unhappy when she says this.
Chen Nian didn't think I'd photographed you all, but you still have to say this now. On the contrary, he felt that this way of saying something was very comfortable: "I will study hard when I go back."
After hearing this, An Hongdou pursed her lips and smiled.
Soon, Director Zhang came with his assistant, but his eyes suddenly became louder as soon as he entered the door. He was not on the scene during the last trial assembly. And that time he heard from Mr. Liu and the staff at the scene that Chen Nian put on makeup very well. At first he didn't believe it, but now he completely believed it.
"So awesome! It's exactly the same! I saw it once while filming a documentary, and later I specially made a poster of the actor's photos and hung them at home for a long time." Director Zhang exclaimed.
"And it is said that people who know this kind of makeup will have to be at least 70 years old. Teacher Chen, isn't your family really a Liyuan family?"
Chen Nian waved his hand: "Director Zhang, you are polite. My family was considered a scholarly family three years ago, but by my father's generation, it must be a Caixiang family."
Zhang Fangyuan didn't hear anything after hearing it, but he didn't ask what the Caixiang Family is. When chatting, we would be a little confused about what the other party was saying, but even if we don't understand it, it would not hinder the chat, so sometimes we just skip it.
"It seems that Teacher Chen really understands it. Now Hongdou will start changing clothes and change the set from the Republic of China. You should also have a copy of Hongdou for shooting the video, so we will start shooting directly at that time. If there is any inappropriate point, we will temporarily modify it."
"Teacher Chen, you are also preparing to put on makeup. Hongdou will take pictures and get familiar with her part first. When you are ready, let's take pictures together. What do you think?"
"No problem." Chen Nian nodded and said.
Then An Hongdou went to the next door to change clothes with them, while Chen Nian put on makeup alone. Chen Nian learned about the content about makeup in advance. This time he was called here to play a guest actor in addition to the makeup work.
In addition to modern times, this commercial also has the Republic of China and ancient times. However, in the current script, modern dramas were performed and sung by An Hongdou alone. However, in the Republic of China and ancient times, Chen Nian and An Hongdou were duets.
The song Wensi Tofu has two perspectives.
Therefore, Chen Nian painted himself with makeup from a young actor. Since they had to film ancient dramas first, Chen Nian painted himself with makeup from an ancient one.
I was still a little nervous when I was dressing An Hongdou, but when I was painting myself, I didn’t feel that way. I spent more than an hour on makeup for An Hongdou, but I took it all in just 40 minutes before and after putting on makeup for herself. Then I went to the fitting room on the side and put on my clothes, so I contacted the assistant.
Then the assistant came up and saw that he was extremely amazed. Chen Nian's young actor was dressed completely like a scholar. Although his face was also covered with rouge and watercolor, the overall lines were harder than An Hongdou's face. With Chen Nian's very beautiful facial features, the assistant felt that it was definitely not impossible for Chen Nian to enter the entertainment industry with this advertising video.
Mr. Liu is also ambitious. The reason why he spent so much money and time and energy on making such a movie is definitely not because of his simple hobbies. Although he really likes these, businessmen originally value profit.
He wanted to promote this short film and make it a phenomenal hit. He knew what young people like now and how to promote advertisements.
So as long as Chen Nian shines in this film, there will definitely be other invitations in the future.
Assistant has been in this industry for many years, so it is very clear that sometimes some people in the entertainment industry can become famous by luck, of course, if they have the strength, they are better.
Finally, he brought Chen Nian to the set. At this moment, An Hongdou was filming there, while Zhang Fangyuan was holding a walkie-talkie and held it up from time to time to say something.
An Hongdou was just standing nearby at first looking at Zhang Fangyuan. Although Yu Guang also saw Chen Nian, it was impossible for him to say hello to Chen Nian during the shooting.
But as he acted, Director Zhang suddenly felt a little unsatisfied when he looked at the small screen.
"Hongdou, wait a moment."
"It's just that when you sing, there may be some problems with your movements, that is, it's not soft enough. You are playing a flower actress now, and you are very good at singing and dancing, so you have to show that feeling."
But An Hongdou felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
It’s no problem to ask her to sing or write songs, but when it comes to dancing, she is indeed a little bit not good at it. Since she is usually careless, many habits are difficult to correct at this moment.
Zhang Fangyuan looked at An Hongdou in trouble, and he was also a little troubled. To be honest, he knew what kind of feeling he wanted, but he just couldn't say it out. Let him demonstrate it. He is a big man, and his body is hard, so he can't show that feeling.
At this moment, he suddenly looked at Chen Nian.
Because the makeup that Chen Nian had made before was perfect and her understanding of Kunqu Opera was very good, Zhang Fangyuan felt that Chen Nian must have been born in the Liyuan family. As for Chen Nian's words at that time, he didn't understand it, and just thought it was another branch of Kunqu Opera.
Moreover, Chen Nian was brought by Mr. Liu. At that time, Mr. Liu did not tell Zhang Fangyuan that Chen Nian was actually a chef. After all, he knew that these directors had a slightly worse temper, and that after working in this industry for a long time, he would become less patient.
For Zhang Fangyuan, he only knew that Chen Nian was brought by Liu Qingsong, and that it was not the kind of gilded vase that had been recently enough, so he didn't ask much.
In addition, Chen Nian was impressed by Zhang Fangyuan before, so Zhang Fangyuan felt that Chen Nian must understand these things, after all, he has been influenced by him since childhood.
"Teacher Chen, come and help!"
Although he was also very amazed by the makeup on the old face, he didn't care about compliments now, and the progress of the shooting was important.
As Chen Nian came, Zhang Fangyuan told the story again.
Only then did Chen Nian know what was wrong.
Chen Nian is naturally very clear about what kind of movements the flower actress should have. When he was in the Spring Rain Class, he had to watch Kunqu Opera every day, and there were a group of famous Kunqu Opera actors around him. Therefore, when Chen Nian practiced himself, he also practiced variously.
The only problem with this is that Chen Nian is a little shy, dressed up as a woman, etc.... After all, now in front of so many people, and there are so many cameras to take pictures.
But, Chen Nian thought about it again.
It's not a solution to drag it like this.
If you can’t finish the filming within the planned time, won’t you be able to go back?
Although I made money when I came out this time, I couldn’t keep doing this.
I still have a main business, and Chen Nian promised an old customer to hold a birthday party before the Honghong Hotel closed. Although I don’t know if the other party will be here, at least I can’t lose my links here.
So Chen Nian thought about the actions of the famous actresses in the Spring Rain Class.
I thought about the lyrics of the plot of Huadan in the song Wensi Tofu, and then started to move while humming.
The sleeves were gently brushed, the waist twisted, and the graceful swayed like willow branches. With the expression and eyes, An Hongdou's mouth couldn't help but open.
If you get closer, you will definitely hear the sound of An Hongdou's breathing like orchids.
"Damn!"
After a short performance, with applause and cheers everywhere, Chen Nian immediately stopped his movements, and his face was blushing. If it weren't for the thick makeup covering him, Chen Nian would have broken his character on the spot.
"It's amazing! That's what I want!"
"Hongdou, just do it like Teacher Chen."
Zhang Fangyuan said as he trotted back to his director Xiao Ma Stories.
An Hongdou's mind kept appearing the actions of the old man just now. After Zhang Fangyuan's action, An Hongdou's body began to dance.
But after just jumping twice, Zhang Fangyuan shook his head and shouted Ka.
"Or how we are like this, Teacher Chen is here, Hongdou, you can follow me there. Let's do these moves first, and the next thing should be simpler."
Zhang Fangyuan suggested.
Then the two nodded, Chen Nian stood in the blind spot on the camera side, while An Hongdou repeated Chen Nian's movements.
But after dancing twice, Zhang Fangyuan called him to the card again.
This won't work.
If this continues, I can't arrange it today. An Hongdou is indeed very talented. She writes songs well, and sings well, and her voice is very recognizable, but she has no talent at all in dancing.
If she is a gift for her when creating music, then in terms of dancing, she can only say that even the wild dogs on the roadside feel sorry for her and are embarrassed to compete with her for this job.
But now he has no better way, so he can only let Chen Nian teach An Hongdou first.
He asked the staff to take a break first.
Chen Nian went aside with An Hongdou and started the teaching mode.
As for Zhang Fangyuan, he called Liu Qingsong worriedly: "Mr. Liu, we encountered some problems in shooting here, that is, Hongdou is indeed not a strong point in dancing. She didn't have many movements before in Chengdu, and she even needed to stand there and sing, so I didn't find this problem at that time.
But now if her body movements cannot be learned for a while, our shooting progress will be delayed. Either give up these and shoot them more simply, but the overall beauty and integrity will be much worse. Mr. Liu, you want to push this to phenomenon, but this will make the effect much worse."
After listening to the other end of the phone, Liu Qingsong did not make a decision, but thought about it before asking, "How is Chen Nian?"
"Teacher Chen performed very well and was very professional. Since I couldn't think of any solution before, I can only ask Teacher Chen to teach Hongdou first to see if he can teach it. If he can't teach me, I will think of some other solutions as soon as possible, or the one I mentioned above." Zhang Fangyuan said.
But Liu Qingsong suddenly discovered the key point: "Are you saying that Chen Nian is teaching An Hongdou now?"
"Yes, Teacher Chen is very professional."
Liu Qingsong pondered for a moment: "I have an idea here. Since Chen Nian knows Kunqu Opera better and is competent for the actress, what do you think he will play the actress? I have heard him sing Kunqu Opera before, which is the part of the actress. Although it is only in the video, I decided to find Chen Nian after watching the video. As for Xiaosheng, Hongdou will play it.
Anyway, it is not uncommon to act like a woman in dressing up as a man. Didn’t Xu Xian in the Legend of White Snake behave like a woman in dressing up as a man? Everyone can accept it after watching it.”
When Zhang Fangyuan heard this, he suddenly realized it!
"Yes, Mr. Liu! Why didn't I think of this?"
"I saw that Hongdou was careless before, so it was indeed more appropriate to let her play a scholar. At worst, I would change the script and storyboard at that time. However, if this happens, I might face a problem. I am not worried about An Hongdou, mainly because I am afraid that Teacher Chen will not agree."
But it would be no problem to put Zhang Fangyuan's worries on Liu Qingsong. Then he gave Zhang Fangyuan two tricks and told him to say that then, and then hung up the phone.
After Zhang Fangyuan received the instruction, although he didn't know if this could be done, he had to try it now.
To be continued...
